I was “Never Trump” before there was a “Never Trump.” Early in the campaign season in 2015, a conservative website asked me (and all its mailing list) to identify my preferred candidate for President and the candidate who was last on my list of candidates. The question was easy. I was supporting Texas Senator Ted Cruz before he announced his run for President. The least supported was also easy—Donald Trump. It was Donald Trump from the beginning and it is still Donald Trump. Now, understand no Democrat is even considered. I do not support any candidate from any party who is pro-abortion/murder.

Let’s get rid of the absolute nonsense—that has been repeated over and over again—that not voting for Donald Trump is a vote for Hillary Clinton. The logic is badly flawed. Since I am not voting for Hillary Clinton, then my not voting for Hillary Clinton is a vote for Donald Trump. Thus, according to their own logic, not voting for Trump is a vote for Clinton and not voting for Clinton is a vote for Trump. Therefore, I’m voting for Clinton and voting for Trump by not voting for Trump and not voting for Clinton. Right? I’m “Never Trump” and I’m “Never Clinton.”

However, there are other choices. In 2012, I did not vote for Mitt Romney and I did not vote for Barack Hussein Obama. However, I did vote in the election. I just did not vote for President. That is actually an alternative and I selected that alternative. This year, I will write-in Constitution Party Presidential Candidate Darrell Castle.

When I vote, I normally use three criteria in selecting a candidate based upon my being a Christian, a Constitutionalist, and a conservative. Being a Christian, I do not vote for anyone who is a supporter of sin as some kind of “right.” Our rights come from GOD not from governments. GOD never gives anyone the right to sin. The two major sins that governments are trying to elevate to “rights,” at the present time, are murdering your own child before the child is born and homosexual behavior and related deviant sexual sins. For Presidential candidates I use a fourth criterion and this election cycle I used a fifth.

The criteria:

1) What does a candidate say about specific issues of importance to me?

2) What has he done in relation to specific issues of importance to me? Unfortunately, in many instances what a person says and what he has done is different. Which is exactly why one MUST examine both.

3) Who has the candidate supported in the past and with whom does the candidate associate?

4) For Presidential candidates: What political experience does the candidate have and how well did he perform in relation to criteria 1-3? I do not support candidates for President who have no political experience. One has no way of judging how he will perform as President. Being President is too important to vote for a political amateur! This criterion disqualified Donald Trump, Carly Fiorina (even though she did run for the Senate in California), and Ben Carson.

5) Any candidate who ran for the Presidency in 2012. Normally, this would not be the case. However, Barack Hussein Obama was so beatable in 2012 that if the candidates could not receive the nomination or defeat him in the general, I saw no hope for them in 2016.

Five issues that are important to me and my take on Donald Trump’s position of these issues.

[Donald Trump, as you know, has been all over the place in relation to many issues. In his case, I believe past positions are more important than current rhetoric. He is doing “The Art of the Deal.” In many instances, I believe he is saying what he believes his supporters want to hear. As he himself has said, he is flexible and can change on a dime, if the situation calls for it. That to me is situation ethics. I want a candidate of principle, integrity, and one who has the will to fight for what he believes. I just don’t observe that in Donald Trump. Will he fight to get strict constructionists appointed to the federal courts? I have serious doubts about him so doing. Very serious doubts.]

1) Ending the murder of unborn babies:

Donald Trump has been pro-abortion for a very long time. He now claims to be pro-life. I have very serious doubts. Even if he is pro-life, as he claims, he still supports the murder of unborn babies if conceived through rape or incest. He still supports the murder of unborn babies if “the life of the mother is endangered.” However, “life of the mother” is a false argument put forth by the pro-abortion crowd. Watch this video from a doctor who was an abortionist, repented, and now is a spokesman for the pro-life moment:

A Former Abortionist: Is abortion ever medically necessary?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysl1tRnk-ig

A woman conceived through rape who is a pro-life advocate asks this question: What crime did I commit that makes it acceptable to kill me? My father, the rapist, does not receive the death penalty for his crime. Yet, people claim it is perfectly OK to murder me although I did nothing wrong. Why?

Donald Trump claims his position is the same as Ronald Reagan’s as if that makes his position the preferred position. I don’t care what Ronald Reagan’s position was. NO ONE has the right to murder an unborn baby under any circumstance. That baby is protected by the Constitution of the United States.

Amendment V

“No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.”

“Amendment XIV Section 1

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Tell me one time when an unborn baby received due process of law before being murdered through abortion. It has never happened to my knowledge!

2) Supporting the radical homosexual agenda including but not limited to homosexual behavior being a “right,” homosexual behavior being protected by law, supporting and promoting faux “homosexual marriage” in any form, and, the newest one, males/females who think they are females/males being allowed to invade the private areas of members of the opposite sex.

To the best of my knowledge, Donald Trump does or has supported all of these. He and the news media are strangely quiet about these issues at the moment. However, once he receives the nomination, be assured that the Left news media will hound him on this until he either admits his support for the homosexual agenda or states emphatically that he does not. Either position will hurt him with some voters. I believe he supports the homosexual agenda. He has proudly proclaimed in the past that he does.

http://www.westernjournalism.com/donald-trump-stuns-lgbt-community-with-convention-speaker-announcement/

“Gregory T. Angelo, president of the Log Cabin Republicans [a homosexual advocacy group within the Republican Party], said, ‘I’ve long said that were he to become the nominee, Donald Trump would be the most pro-gay candidate the Republican Party has ever had. Thiel’s role as an official speaker at the RNC continues to bolster that assertion.’”

3) Immigration/amnesty for illegal aliens:

Donald Trump is right on some of his immigration positions. He is wrong about allowing any illegal aliens to receive amnesty. No one who is illegal should ever be allowed to have amnesty under any circumstance. That is not only a violation of the law but also a slap in the face for those who have followed the law and are going through the legal immigration process. It is rewarding illegal behavior. Illegal behavior should never be rewarded!

The question though is what will be his position after the election? I can tell you this. I fought against amnesty twice—once during the Bush Administration and once during the Obama Administration and the “Gang of Eight.” In both instances, Donald Trump WAS NOT fighting against amnesty. He simply was not! In fact, according to reliable sources, he gave campaign donations to five of the eight “Gang of Eight.” I do not trust him on this issue. Fact is, I do not trust him on ANY conservative issue.

4) Obamacare:

Donald Trump to my knowledge has never said he wants Obamacare repealed. In fact, he has said he supports even more government involvement in healthcare. Yet, the federal government has no constitutional authority to be involved in healthcare except to the extent that it is a part of interstate commerce. The federal government needs to get out of healthcare and allow the free enterprise system to work. I don’t see Donald Trump doing that.

5) Restoring the Constitution:

I’m not sure Donald Trump even knows what the Constitution says except in the most general terms. I’ve never heard him speak of the Constitution unless asked by the news media. He does support the unconstitutional court decision that expanded eminent domain far beyond the intent of the writers of the Constitution. I have little doubt that he will violate the Constitution just as Barack Hussein Obama has for the last seven plus years. I firmly believe Donald Trump will continue the lawlessness of the executive branch as established by Barack Hussein Obama.

It is going to be a very difficult four years, in my opinion, if either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump is elected President. I will have no part of it. My vote is mine. It belongs to no one else. My vote will not be cast for either one of them. This is not original with me but I agree with it: “The Democrat and the Republican Party are requiring us to vote, using a historical perspective, for either Adolph Hitler or Joseph Stalin.” You may decide who is who. As for me, I will vote for neither!

Darrell Castle of the Constitution Party for President! The only Christian, Constitutionalist, conservative choice for President.
